Christine and listers,
Jane Turner Patterson and Samuel Patterson had the following children:
Eliza ......................m J.S. Martin
Robert Irwin
Agnes....................m Elam OSBORN
Electa.....................m E.P. THORNBURG
Charles T...............died at 28 (don't know if he was married or not)
Sarah E..................widow of J.P. EDWARDS
Jennie.....................m John P. WILLIS

Could someone check the 1900 and 1910 census in Jay County for any of these people. Jane
was alive in 1907, living with one of the
kids in Portland but I don't know which kid?
Much thanks in advance,
Shirl in OH

Christine,
Thank you. Would you be talking about the tiny cemetery setting by the side of the
road at the bend going towards Muncie? I
stopped at that one a few weeks ago on my way to Muncie and noticed there were numerous
obvious burials with no headstones.
If there was no marker, how did you find this relative's grave? That's what
I'm looking for - some complete records. Samuel
and Jane both seem to have disappeared into thin air when they died, even though they died
a number of yrs apart. I know Jane was
living in Portland in 1907, probably with one of her kids. If I get a list of the their
children, is there someone on the list who
can do a census check for these people?
Also, if I could get a list of the mortuaries in Portland and find where Jane was at
least 'prepared', that might give me a
clue to both burials. I strongly feel that the govt just doesn't have a record of
where they sent him. I say this because I can't
find Jane too and feel they must be together. Gut feeling, but I try to pay attention to
those. If you or anyone else has any
other suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Outside of holding a seance, I don't
know what to do next! *S* (Wanna come to the
seance???)
Thanks again,
Shirl

There is a small cemetery located in Portland Indiana by the conservation club.
I don't know how far it dates back or if their are any or few grave markers... I
know one relative of mine was burried there and his wife wanted to move him with
the rest of the family but it was not possible due to the use of wooden boxes
etc. In our case it says both of our realtives are buried at green park
cemetery in Portland when actually "HE" is at this little cemetery by the
conservation club. I know there is "No" grave marker at the little cemetery
for
our rlative. (this realtive died June 8, 1884)
Hope this gives you another lead to check out....

Was Jeffersonville a Civil War camp or prison? If he died there, perhaps he
is buried near there? I have someone in my line who died in France in WWI,
and that is where he was buried even though he was a US serviceman.
Just a thought.
